Decrease, and restrict what the government can spend it on
@8F2KYGZ5yrs5Y
Decrease by using some of this spending on Canadians in need of aid.
I am satisfied with the currrent amount but decrease aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism
Decrease, only to countries who we are aligned with or allys with
I think it depends on the situation
@955LBYV3yrs3Y
the country is in hella debt right now and can barely afford anything as it is so once the gov. gets our debt situation delt with and becomes smarter with money then yes
Increase, but only for countries that need help
Stay the same until Canada has aided their own Canadian Citizens and Indigenous 4th world conditions.
Take Care of the People that are here first. Lots of Canadians need help.
Let's make sure no one in Canada is living in poverty first
@8VCGKD24yrs4Y
As long as the country is in good health then we can help others
They should but only if they know that the foreign country they are sending the money to will put that money to good use.
Use only when really needed for other countries during disasters to aid the people of the country and less the politicans
Yes, but only if funding is left over after spending on Canadian needs (healthcare, mental health, public services etc.) and only to countries that have no human rights violations.
Keep current spending with more oversight
@8T8HW274yrs4Y
Decrease, and pursue more trade agreements with developing countries instead

Increase foreign aid spending, but allocate the funding to alleviate dependency and promote independent economic sustainability
@8JHM3Y94yrs4Y
I am uneducated on the issue
Increase, but mostly to third world countries or disasters.
@9CMNJDG2yrs2Y
increase for allies in an active war like Ukraine and lower to around current when no major active wars are ongoing
Decrease temporally, I believe it is important that we on my important issues in our own country like a put your own oxygen mask on before assisting someone else.
Increase aid to countries that are impoverished and need it, but deny aid to countries that promote terrorism and racist views.
Increase, but deny any aid to countries that harbour or promote terrorism
increase only for those countries where human rights are being violated like Syria
@93Z55V93yrs3Y
Spend it on Countries who need it such as Afghanistan and Ukraine, for countries that are in war.
Yes, in countries that suffer from war or civil unrest, famine, etc
